Kelli @ There's No Place Like Home is hosting Show and Tell Friday. Don't miss seeing Kelli's garden decorations and all of the other treasures of the ladies participating this week!This has certainly been a memorable day in our family's lives. Thursday was our daughter, Amanda's eighteenth birthday. That is a milestone most worthy of celebration. Her five older brothers have expressed to me their disbelief that she can possibly be this old. That is probably because they remember when she was born:)
Amanda blesses our lives with her love of music,
...her love for her family
her sense of humor...
and her smiles...
Amanda received a sweet gift today on her birthday- the sweetest of all... And our entire family gets to share the joy too!... Amanda's little niece was born today on her birthday!
May I introduce you to our new little granddaughter~ Sophia Genevieve Grace...
Here she is with her loving mommy Lisa...
Here she is with her loving mommy Lisa...
and her proud daddy Ben:)
...saying hello for the first time.
Sophia is our special gift today and our treasure more precious than gold. Can you feel me smiling from there?:)) I'm feeling a trip to Pittsburgh coming sometime real soon:)
My heart is full...
Happy Birthday Amanda and Sophia!
~~Psalm 127:3 "Behold, children are a gift of the Lord..."~~Happy Birthday Amanda and Sophia!

Thank you for the comments you made about my Thomas Kinkade post. On my other blog today I used one of his books for what I wrote for Spiritual Sundays. It's about balance. If you are interested in reading it, here is the url.

Happy Birthday to both beautiful girls! What a great birthday present - a niece to share your birthday with.
When you stopped by yesterday, you asked about my "French Oven" versus calling it a "Dutch Oven". I'm not sure why, I thought they were all dutch, but the box said "French." Maybe it's because of the manufacturer? Le Crueset?? Who knows, but thanks for visiting. Come back again...
well, happy birthday to your daughter and congratulations to the family! great photos :O)
There is always room for you in The Shadow of the Cross. Feel free to visit anytime.
What a precious gift from above! Happy Birthday to both sweet girls. We went to visit a friend who had a baby boy yesterday. Children are a blessing from the Lord.
